[OpenGuides-London] Areas for (student) flats in North London
by Tom Anderson 02 Aug '03

02 Aug '03

Hello, I'm moving to London in a couple of months, and i'd like to find somewhere to live; i'll be working (well, PhDing) at UCL, so north/west London would be good. Does anyone know the areas around there? I've already had suggestions for Kilburn, Tufnell Park, Archway, Finsbury Park, and Highbury; i've thought about Camden but discounted on grounds of cost :(. So, if anyone has something to share (whether opinions on the places i mention or suggestions for other places), i would be eternally grateful if they could write about it on the openguide! I'm going to ask on uk.local.london as well; i'll report everything i learn back to the site. Regards, tom -- or are they poststructuralist terrorists? perhaps we shall never truly know.

The "minor tidying" markers aren't showing up in the Recent Changes page on the London OpenGuide - I don't have time to fix this right now. Kake

[OpenGuides-London] Preferred mapping provider
by Earle Martin 30 Jul '03

30 Jul '03

Up until now we've been using streetmap.co.uk as our 'provider of mapping solutions' (to sound all corporate for a second). However, I no longer care for Streetmap after discovering the awesome power of uk.maps.yahoo.com: http://uk.maps.yahoo.com/py/lg:uk/lc:uk/maps.py?addr=114+campden+hill+road&… versus http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=525117&y=180161&z=0&sv=w8+7ar&st=2&… Note the greater detail, including door numbers and street directions, and generally much better clarity (try zooming in to maximum on Yahoo! and compare it to the above, which is already at maximum zoom). I suggest that we prefer Yahoo! Maps for linking to. -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".

[OpenGuides-London] Roads versus locales
by Earle Martin 11 Jul '03

11 Jul '03

As it stands, some Locale pages describe roads; I don't think this is granular enough (e.g., Strand redirects to Locale Strand, which describes the Strand). The situation I set up for Brick Lane and Category Brick Lane reflects how I feel we should abstract out the concept of 'locale' - "Brick Lane" is a road, and as such exists in Category Roads; its locale is "Locale Brick Lane". Locale Brick Lane itself is in Locale East London. I've been trying to implement a locale hierarchy, in order that people looking at locale pages can be given a vague idea of where the locale is located in London itself - meta-locales, so to speak. If people could start adding these descriptors (West London, East London, Southeast London, Central London, etc.) to all the locale pages, then that would be great. -- # Earle Martin http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EarleMartin $a="f695a9a2176a7dd1618af6649896ee10f05ea986de18af6277e9a1d8ef4696644569a1d".
